Canon Cinema CN-E24MM/T1.5 L F lens with EF Mount meter scale product description
Professional 4K Wide-Angle Cinema Prime
The Canon CN-E24mm T1.5 L F is a high-performance wide-angle prime lens designed for professional motion picture production. Engineered to exceed 4K resolution standards, this lens combines a compact form factor with the legendary optical quality of the Canon L-series. Its full-frame imaging circle makes it a versatile choice for both 35mm full-frame and Super 35mm sensors, providing a 29.2mm equivalent focal length on the latter.
Exceptional Low-Light Performance and Bokeh
With a fast T1.5 maximum aperture, this lens excels in challenging low-light environments, allowing cinematographers to capture bright, clean images without excessive gain. The 11-blade aperture diaphragm produces a smooth, circular bokeh for beautiful out-of-focus highlights and a natural sense of depth. The iris ring is mechanically controlled without click stops, ensuring seamless exposure transitions during a take.
Unified Design for Efficient Workflows
Part of the Canon Cinema Prime lineup, the CN-E24mm features a unified front diameter of 114mm and consistent gear positioning for focus and iris rings. This standardized design allows camera crews to switch lenses rapidly without adjusting follow focus units or matte boxes. The 300-degree focus rotation provides the precision required for critical focus pulling in high-resolution productions.
Advanced Optics and Color Science
The lens construction utilizes large-diameter aspheric elements and anomalous dispersion glass to minimize distortion and chromatic aberration. Canon's refined color science ensures a warm, consistent color balance across the entire Cinema Prime range, simplifying color grading in post-production. Additionally, the lens is designed to minimize focus breathing, maintaining a stable angle of view during focus pulls.
Reliability and Camera Communication
Built for the rigors of the set, the lens features a dust and water-resistant design with gaskets and seals. The EF mount includes electronic contacts for direct communication with Cinema EOS cameras, enabling the recording of lens metadata, peripheral illumination correction, and support for the Dual Pixel Focus Guide. For operation in dark environments, the distance indicators use phosphorescent paint for improved visibility.
